ENDANGERING PLAN
French Embassy in Wash
ington Receives Note From
Premier Poincare for
Transmission to Hughes
WASHINGTON’, Nov. 4.—(By the
Associated Press.) —The latest move
to enlist American aid in solving
the reparations puzzle, which began
so auspiciously, now has come to a
stage where even those who spon
sored it most staunchly are ex
Iremely uncertain of the outcome.
Like every other recent effort to
bring American influence to bear to
heal the war wounds of Europe, the
new plan for an expert committee
of inquiry has become entangled in
the delicately adjusted network of
relationships between London and •
Paris, and in such a manner that
the American government cannot at
the moment take any step to extri
cate it.
There still is hope that in the end
a workable plan will emerge from
•Iraost the hourly exchanges that
appear to be passing between the
British and French capitals, and
about which American officials have
but a sketchy and inconclusive
knowledge, ouch advices as reached
the state department Saturday did
nothing to encourage confidence in
a satisfactory outcome, however,
and news dispatches from abroad
likewise were accepted as adding
little to what has gone before.
In the circumstances, officials re
peated that th — were helpless to
do more than look on from a dis
tance and await the result.
The views of the United States
are well known to both London and
Paris, and if they are disregarded
in the diplomatic formula finally
worked out, President Coolidge and
hi» advisers believed that none of
the blame for failure of the plan
rest on Washington.
From the very first this govern
ment has insisted that a full and
free Inquiry into the capacity of
Germany to pay her reparations bill
must be permitted if any real re
sults are to be accomplished and
that if any restrictions like those
apparently favored by France are to
circumscribe the investigation, it
scarcely will be worth while.

GOAL.OF TYTDBB
IS WORLD'S TITLE
BEFORE HE RETIRES
Tyrus Raymond Cobb—the glam
our that surrounds that name!
There is not a small boy hero-wor
shipper in the land to whom it does
not represent the pinnacle of splen
did achievement; and now the “Geor
gia Peach” is planning to quit pro
fessional baseball.
For nineteen years he has been
“the greatest of them all” in major
league baseball, and now he wants
to quit because he “feels old,” he
wants to quit while he is "going
good” and before he gets “stale.” He
sat in the lobby of the Georgian Ter
race hotel Saturday and said so him
self.
For one more season he will lead
his Detroit Tigers towards the goal
of a world’s championship, and then
he is through.
“I’ve got to quit some time,” he
saii|, “and I suppose I am getting old.
I’ve been told I’m old so often that I
am beginning to believe it and feel
that way. Last year for the first
time I felt the nervous strain of the
big fight. I guess I’m about through.”
And there you are. That is the ul
timatum from the man who shatter
ed every record in baseball by hit
ting average of .370 over nineteen
years of continuous playing; the man
who last season made his 3,365th hit,
breaking the previous record of 3,331
set by Hans Wagner in twen
ty-three years of playing. He is
proud of these records, as he has a
right to be.
His is a record that is without an
equal in baseball. Theije have been,
perhaps, players who were more bril
liant for short periods, meteoric
flashes across the sun; but none who
have approached his record for con
sistent performance.
Last season his Detroit Tigers
pushed their way to second place in
the race for the American league
pennant, being beaten only by the
New York Yankees, the team
that later won the world’s champion
ship.
And next season the Tigers will be
in the fight again, and their player
manager expects them to do great
things.
“I am not making any alibis,” said
Cobb, “but las season we did run into
some hard luck, injuries, bad weath
er and the like. Next season I will
have the same players practically,
with the addition of a few good new
ones, including “Red” Wingo, of Nor
cross, Ga. I think “Red” has a bril
liant future.
"I am not making any predictions
as to who will win the penant, but—
well, I would like to quit with a
world’s championship outfit.”
And perhaps he will.
GOVERNOR FINISHES
DRAFT DE ADDRESS
FOR EXTRA SESSION
Will Support Tax Commis-i
sion Recommendations,!
Plans Dinner for Lawmak-!
ers Wednesday Evening
Governor Walker Monday had
completed the draft of his message
to the extra session of the legisla
ture, which will convene Wednesday
for the consideration of tax reform
and free school book legislation.
Aside from declaring that he will
support the recommendations of the
state tax commission, which have
not been made public, the governor
did not give any imitation as to the
contents of his message. It is prob
able that he will give the legislature
the opportunity to organize Wednes
day, and deliver his message Thurs
day, in connection with the report
of the tax commission, though there
is a possibility that the report and
message will both be delivered the
first thing Wednesday morning.
To Be Host at Dinner
The governor is planning to enter
tain the members of the legislature
at a dinner on Wednesday night. He
will talk to them on the tax situa
tion at that time.
Only a few members of the gen
eral assembly had reached Atlanta
Monday.
One of the more enthusiastic early
arrivals was Representative A. S
Bussey, of Crisp county, who has
been making a personal investiga
tion of the North Carolina tax sys
tem. Representative Bussey was the
author of several tax measures intro
duced at the last session of the gen
eral assembly, and toured the state
with the tax commission recently. It
is his opinion that the legislature w.ll
pass an income tax measure, limited
as to the maximum rate and modi
fied in comparison to the federal in
come tax.
Predict Income Tax
Representative A. J. Woodruff, of
DeKalb county, is of the opinion that
an income tax will be passed, and
also a bill providing free textbooks
for pupils of the state grammar
schools, if the revenue can be an
ticipated. Mr. Woodruff is a mem
ber of the state tax commission.
“I have talked to more than one
hundred members of the legislature
in the pass few weeks, and it is the
opinion of all of them that we should
stop this talk about the legislature
doing nothing,” Mr. Woodruff de
clared.
President George H- Carswell, of
the state senate, and Speaker W.
Cecil Neill, of the house of repre
sentatives, had not arrived Monday.
Both had made reservations at the
Kimball and were expected
Tuesday night.
The majority of the members of
the two houses will not reach At
lanta until Tuesday afternoon or
Tuesday night, it was predicted, be
cause of the limited number of mat
ters to be considered at the extra
session. Usually the legislators come
to Atlanta several days ahead of a
legislative session, in order to work
for some pet bill or local measure
they are anxious to see passed. Only
the members of the state tax com
mission and two or three lawmak
ers are taking that much interest in
the program for the extra session.
Free Text Books Urged
Commenting on the probable ac
tion of the legislature at the extra
session, Representative Carl N
Guess, cf DeKalb county, said:
“There is no possible way for the
present legislature, or future assem
blies, to enact laws which would
meet the approval of all the peo
ple. The tax commission recently
appointed by Governor Walker is
composed of able men who have
worked faithfully and earnestly on
the tax question. Whether or not
the legislature will consider or en
act the report of the committee, I
cannot say. I am afraid, however,
should there be many tax bills in
troduced by individual members in
connection with the tax commission
report, little will be accomplished
except a wrangle among authors of
the measures.
“The foundation of all tax laws is
the machinery to collect the tax. The
state loses a great amount of money
if machinery is not provided for the
collection of taxes. This was demon
strated by the recent passage of the
three-cent gasoline tax, by reason of
the fact, the comptroller general is
without the necessary machinery to
collect this tax, thereby resulting in
a large loss of revenue to the state.
This is a matter which cannot be
remedied by General Wright, or his
department, but a matter purely up
to the general assembly.
“A great many people disagree
politically with the opinions of the
late lamented United Strtes Senator
Thomas E. Watson, but there is no
doubt in my mind that he champion
ed one of the greatest needs of the
state when he advocated free text
books for children in our common
schools. I am satisfied the general
assemblj 7 in extra session will take
into consideration this needed legis
lation.”

JACKSONVILLE, Fla., Nov. 4.
William Jennings Bryan will not be

“pleased to consider it in the light
of the larger opportunity which such

he would accept the gubernatorial
nomination. The letter was made
public here tonight.
“The governorship of Florida is a
very high office, worthy of the aspi- j

are exacting,” Mr. Bryan’s letter
said. “No one can live up to its
great responsibility without giving
his entire time to it. I am not in a
position to do this. I am under ob
ligation to the Democratic party of
the nation which has three times
honored me with a presidential nom

TREMENDOUS GUN
TO SOUTH RESULTS
FROM COTTON RISE
Georgia Receives Big Poten
tial Benefits With Appre
ciation in Value of Staple
Crop Grown in State
(NOTE —The following article on the
cotton situation was written by a man
who has made a study of the cotton mar
ket for fifteen years and has, in years
past, written articles summing up the sit
uation and making predictions based <>u
the situation. His predictions have in the
main been borne out. In this article he
gives his views and the facts upon which
lie bases them).
End-October figures estimating
the cotton crop of the United States
for 1923 at 10,248,000 bales against
end-September figures of 11,015,000
bales, sent prices to new high rec
ords for three years and well on the
way to equal the record of 1920
when the staple went as high as 39c.
The big bulge in values that for
lowed the announcement of the last
governmrent report carried Atlanta
spot cotton to 31.50 cents or $42.50
a bale over the low for the season,
which was reached on August 2,
when the market touched the 23c
level. From that date on there has
been a general tendency upward,
but the real bull drive came as
result of the last condition report
showing the crop only 47.8 per ‘cent
of normal as compared with 52.6 a
year ago.
At the present market price in
Atlanta the potential yield for the
entire cotton belt is worth $87,128,-
000 more than it was on August 2
last, and the gain in dollars and
cents for Georgia is $5,185,000. At
ti e low point of the season the esti
mated yield for the United States
would have brought $235,704,000,
while today the crop expected is
worth $322,832,000. Georgia’s crop
of 610,000 bales today is worth $19,-
215,000, against $14,030,000 three
months ago.
There has been no more absorb
ing subject this fall, and more par
ticularly these last few days, than
the advance in the price of cotton,
which Saturday showed no tendency
to react from the first bulge of
Friday, when the report was issued.
There was the usual loss from
profit-taking, evident on all such
advances, but fresh orders kept
prices around the best
Part of Spinners
Spinners seemed to have had their
part in selling orders, probably
hedges, many coming from the
south, when top prices were reached
in New York Saturday, and the slight
break from the high can not b e at
tributed to an inherent weakness in
the position of the market. Unques
tionably the government figures
caused a rush to pick up spots for
mill consumption and the consequent
hedge selling in futures.
The I mgs who have had the mar
ket in hand since last summer still
are in the saddle and with a stock
on July 31 last of only 2,087,919 bales
to augment another short crop,
which together will, about equal
world consumptio.. last year, it is
only reasonable to suppose that they
will hold the whip hand, at least
until all needs are cared for.
Another element in their favor is
the fact that the potential yield add
ed to the carry-over will leav e noth
ing to greet next year's crop, and
the world for the first time in his
tory seems destined to start a cot
ton season with nothing spinnable
in the warehouses.
This condition that has been creep
ing up on the trade since 1921, when
the yield f 11 short oi 9,000,000 bales
and again in 1922, when the crop was
hi.ooo bales, bids fair
to bear o®t the prediction made in
these columns a year ago that a
cotton famine was imminent unless
some means were found to combat
the boll weevil and other enemies
of the growing plant.
The carry-over' has decreased with
alarming rapidity from,about 6,500,-
000 bales on July 31, 1921, to slightly
over 2,000,000 bales today, and nor
mal post-war consumption even will
preclude anything being left Aver
when the present crop is marketed.
It will bring about a condition of
the demand equaling the supply
next year, though through the as
sistance of the carry-over and with
no carry-over in ensuing years, if
present growing conditions still ob
tain, the demand is certain to ex
ceed the supply and bring on a con
dition where a substitute for cotton
must be found.
Some authorities on coton, not two
I years ago,’had the vision to foresee
such a contingency, and at the time
advanced the idea that even then
was time for some one to find that
substitute.

MISS CAROLYN NUNDER, NOTED NEW YORK MODISTE AT
24, who says she owes her success in designing to the dreams of her
childhood, in which she fashioned clothing for her dolls.
BY JOSEPHINE VAN DE GRIFT
NEW YORK, Nov. 2.—Dreams of
childhood are making $50,000 a year
for a 24-yearold girl.
They are making her one of the
country’s most successful business
women with a salary that the presi
dent of the country was glad to get
15 years ago.
Yet Miss Carolyn Nunder isn’t
quite satisfied.
She feels that she isn’t getting
ahead fast enough!
“That, I suppose,” she says smi>
ing, “is the impatience of youth. But
it’s in youth that success begins.
“The dreams that we have when
we are young are th© index to what
we should do when we are old. They
show where our natural talents lie
before we have been warped by edu
cators and dictated to by our elders.”
In Miss Nunder’s childhood these
dreams were of —ruffles!
And it has been with ruffles that
she has made her success.
“When I was a youngster,” she
says, “I had a nondescript china doll
Part of its nose had been bumped off
and one eye had vanished complete
ly, owing to too many devoted wash
ings. But I loved that doll and tried
to make up for its deformities by
dressing it prettily. I would trick
up its clothes with ruffles, and soon
my doll was known as the best dress
ed doll in the neighborhood.”
Then a few years went by and
folks said Carolyn was too old to
play with dolls. .So she started mak
ing ruffles for herself. And soon she
had the reputation of being the best
dressed girl among her friends.
When she was 20 her older sister
became ill, and there was danger
that her younger sis x r would have
to be taken out of school. Caroly;;
decided that she was going to help
tho family out of its difficulties.
But how?
“The answer came in a flash,” she
says. “Ruffles!
“I began making clothes for other
persons. It was hard going at first.
Sometimes I was trying to make
seams meet and sometimes I was
trying to make ends meet.”
Business picked up. Her styles
became popular.
Now the little establishment ot
“Carolyn Nunder. 'Modiste,” on one
of the Forties just off Fifth avenue,
is a humming place with 15 helpers
who ar e busy all year ’round.
And each is learning by heart their
employer’s rules for success:
“Follow your dreams of childhood
“Create.
“Do the things you love to do.”
COOLIDGE CONFERS
WITH C. S. BARRETT
DA M PROBLEMS
BY r THEODORE TILLER ,
Atlanta. Journal News Bureau,
408 Evans Buildinc.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 4.—Show
ing further concern over the agri
cultural situation, including the
ravages of the boll weevil in south
ern cotton fields, President Cool
idge conferred here Saturday after
noon for more than an hour with
Charles S. Barrett, of Georgia, pres
ident of the National Farmers*
union.
Mr. Barrett, who went to the
White House at the invitation of
the president, has just returned
here from an extended tour of ag
ricultural sections in the south and
middle west.
The president asked Mr. Barrett
to take lunch with'him at the White.
House on Sunday, and the confer
ence over agricultural conditions
will be continued at that time.
Mr. Barrett told President Cool
idge, in substance, that while the
farmers of the country are not in
clined towards paternalism, present
conditions in certain sections are
such as to cause widespi'ead and
insistent sentiment for more lib
eral agricultural assistance from
the federal government.
Mr. Barrett made particular reci
tation of conditions in the cotton
belt, calling attention to the de
struction wrought by the boll wee
vil. He urged the president to
recommend to congress legislation
which would enable the government
to supply at a nominal cost, cotton
farmers with all necessary quanti
ties of calcium arsenate, an impor
tant adjunct in combatting the
weevil, expressing the belief that
this would go far towards bringing
about relief to that section.
“A great saving and increased
production could be effected in
that way,” he said.
Sunday the farm official will give
the president a first-hand story of
conditions in the west, as found
personally by him, and contained in
reports filed by members of his or
ganization.

BERLIN, Nov. 4. —While police
in some sections of Berlin Saturday
dispersed hungry rioters, tnose in
other parts went at the head of
crowds of women to search under
the beds of shopkeepers for hidden
supplies of bread.
The cabinet crisis, complicated by
the threat of Bavaria to unleash the
“Fascist!” gathered on its border for
a march on Berlin if a
dictatorship were not formed in th®
capital, attracted little attention.
The approaching return of the
former crown prince from his exile
in Wieringeh. to his quiet castle in
Oels, Eilesia, where Ihe was expect
ed to arrive in time for Christinas
with his family, caused even less
of a flurry.
Everywhere in the capital house
wives were desperately obtaining
bread in anticipation of a further
rise on Monday of the cost to corre
spond with the dropping mark.
In many parts of the city bread
wagons were held up by groups of
determined civilians who forced
drivers to sell their meager supplies
cheaply with adviee that they had
better sell at a low price than have
the bread taken from them for noth
ing.
In the Friedricshain quarter wher®
many workmen have their homes,
rioting broke out early in the day,
but was suppressed before it assum
ed serious proportions. Other crowds
swept through Bellerman strasse
ransacking shops for food and cloth
ing. j
Currency Worthless
Fearing that the crowds would get
beyond control despite special police
precautions, the government spurred
its effort to turn out the new cur
rency, the “rentenmark,” redeem
able at face value and based on the
meager gold reserves and mortgagee
on German industry. Preparations
were being made to call in the al
most worthless paper nia<rks and ex
change them us quickly as possible
for the new currency.
The government also issued a de
cree by virtue of the dictatorial pow
ers given Stresemann by the reich
stag, ordering dissolution of the
workmen’s councils throughout Ger
many. 8
How Stresemann would meet the
cabinet crisis, now on him, after he
had staved it off several times, was
a matter of speculation in political
circles. Without the socialist vote
in the reichstag, owing to the resig
nation of all the socialist members
of his cabinet, it was unlikely he
could pommand a majority.
Without a majority he would have
to resign or be defeated very soon
afte .■ the reichstag reassembles. Hi®
readiness to accede to the Vavarian
demand, couched in threatening
terms, for a dictatorship “of the
right,” was problematical tonight,
though it was seen he would hav*
to turn to the conservative side of
the reichstag for support to replace
the socialists.
Demands of Socialists
The only alternative to this, if he
wished to stay in power, would be
to be to bring the socialists back
into the coalition by accepting the
demands cr. which they based their
These were, essen
tially, that the state of siege in the
country be lifted and that drastic ac
tion be taken at once against Ba
varia to restore the federal govern
ment’s authority and smash the
growing monarchist strength in the
state.
Government officials attempt;d io
minimize the threat from Eava.’t,
but a number of the cabinet stated
that the threat to let the illegal
military organizations concentrated
on the northern border of the state
ioose for a march on Beilin wai
true.
Dispatches from Munich quoted
the piper Gerrnaraa as asserting
that Stresemann had been warned
by telephone, “the Fatherland organ
izations have demanded that the
Reich government within 24 hour®
create a military distatorship.”
The number of the illegal troop®
on the border was not known exact
ly, but official, reports previously
showed they w&re strong and wed
armed with' artillery, as well as ri
fles.
With the strong concentrations of
reichswehr troops in Saxony the
likelihood that any of the illegal
bodies would reach Berlin if they
started was doubted, but it wa®
pointed out that the government waa
anxious to go as far as it could tt>
• prevent such a clash as might occur l

FRENCH EMBASSY HERE
RECEIVES POINCARE NOTE
WASHINGTON, Nov. 4.—A
I lengthy note from Premier Poincare
j was received at the French era*
I bassy here today in reply to the ob-
■ jections of Secretary of States
■ Hughes to any restriction of the
■ scope of the proposed expert
i economic conference to examine into
I Germany’s capacity to pay repara
tions.
The receipt of the note from Poin
l care came almost simultaneous!’'
with the arrival here from Europe
of Jules Jusserand, the French Am
bassador to Washington. Jusserand
may take the note to Hughes to
night, but it was believed rather
probable that he would postpone go
ing to the state department until
Monday.
Jusserand immediately upon his
arrival at ; the French embassy here
plunged into a thorough examina
tion of all the official communica
tions that have passed between
Washington and Paris regarding the
proposed reparations parley and
made a study of the attitude of the
press of the United States toward
the plan, with especial reference to
France’s position, 'to gauge Ameri
can public opinion.
The fate of the American pro
gram for an expert conference to
bring about a settlement tb*
reparations question the key to the
European crisis today, is believed
largely to hang on the Impending
